Mr. Goodpliers and Joe load a 1956 Dodge Custom Royal sedan! Come along for our latest pasture parts car picks, and stick around to find out... That thing got a hemi???
We had a 56 like that with the 2bbl poly engine. It was light gray/dark gray 2 tone, power brakes, power steering, factory twice pipes! It was my grandpas car and we inherited it when he bought a new 63 Impala a step down in my opinion. As a kid I loved that old Dodge! It lost reverse gear and my Dad said it was not worth fixing. I argued for the car but lost as I was only a 4th grader at the time.
Good job saving it from total destruction, but it's a shame it has to be relegated to a parts car, pretty cool car and nicely optioned. Been to many car shows and you just don't see 50's Dodges
That's a Custom Royal series top trim level. 315 2bbl poly engine, Super Red Ram. The 4 bbl was optional and was called the Super 230 Powered as in 230 hp. The hemi was available as the D-500 also a 315. The hood and deck lid would have the D-500 flags
Even in the early 1970's every body knew these old 50's wagons had Hemi's...good lord I rode in one back in 1970...holy smoke that turd brown 54' wagon was crazy diarea fast.
Is this a state or federal work effort. One guy working and three talking to him! Seriously, I appreciate the video. Would you happen to have a 1966 Galaxie XL? If so, I’m interested
Drove a 83 buick lesabre on a flat front tire home aboit 10 miles 3 oclock in the morning leaving da bar sparks shooting in the air 20 - 30 feet thru town even cops must of all been at the waffle house that night
Ya - It's the same old stuff - Goodpliers talking and holding the camera, and the other guy doing all the work - That's how it usually works with me too - I do the work and the farmer and my buddy just want the shoot the breeze - but then again it's my car.
We have spotted a big Ambassador two door in the woods. Super neat car. I need to figure out about going to pick it up. Send me an email: mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com
The Plymouth version 318ci, had a respectable 260 hp., with 4bbl., the same as the later(273-318) version. With some modern mods, it could make much more.
I've just never seen anyone build a performance version of em so I'd love to give it a try. On a side note, they used the 350 cu. In. Marine version in ChrisCraft boats in the mid 50s that had an awesome carb set up. They had 4 2bbl kind of side draft carb set ups that looked awesome! I'd love to find one of those and build the shit out of it😁
@@sethbarnes7608 Uncle Tony, on his popular U-tube videos, documents a build, any some problems encountered with a 318 Poly. You get to hear the 63 Plymouth wind up, and hurtle down the road !
@@sethbarnes7608 In some respects, they encorporate a staggered valve head, much like the Ford Cleveland(and big-block), and the big-block Chevy porcupine heads. It's a shame they did'nt refine the design further.
I would call him my best friend. We are almost like brothers. That lets us be relaxed around each other... but at the same time, opposites attract and that doesn't mean it's always totally friction free!
Hello saw your video it was a Plymout 53 2door sedan in the backgrond. Can you pliase measure the length of the door?. I shall build a custom 4door to 2door greetings from Sweden.
Thanks for your interest. We have several 1953 Plymouth two door cars. The doors are 48 1/4 inches long. We can provide those, along with any other body parts such as roof sections, etc
